About This Show
The fourth show of MTC’s Hot Summer Nights cabaret series welcomes David Sabella on July 30th in, The Razzle Dazzle of Chicago the Musical. Sabella is the original co-star in Broadway’s longest running American musical and hailed by Luciano Pavarotti as “Excellent!”. On this night, he celebrates CHICAGO, and the music of Kander & Ebb in story and song, giving the audience a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this theatrical and global phenomenon, starring the legendary Ann Reinking, Bebe Neuwirth, Joel Grey, James Naughton, Marcia Lewis, and Sabella himself, in the surprising role of “Mary Sunshine.” Using the music and lyrics of John Kander and Fred Ebb, (Cabaret, CHICAGO, Kiss of the Spiderwoman) Sabella narrates his time in the show from day 1, working with stars like Chita Rivera, Melanie Griffith, Brent Barrett, Patrick Swayze and more. And, as one of the first gay men in America to legally wed and adopt children, Sabella takes us on a personal, and deeply moving journey.
